Minutes

Attendees: Arshak,Igal,Zisis,Susan,Jane,Phil,Sasha,Tim B.,Jon Z.,Liping,S.T.

  • Nothing new regarding new SICCAS contract and negotiations with JLab procurement; Sasha will follow up next week.
  • Other procurements: need to inspect sample of 20 light guides, then follow up with full order
  • Summer students: word from management is that summer program is canceled (I assume this includes HUGS??)
    • No firm decision on status of lab access for individual students not affiliated with more general program
  • Preparation for PAC jeopardy: Liping will work on JEF physics update to JEF/GlueX document after collaboration meeting; Sasha will work on FCAL-2 part
  • Igal presented upper limit curves for dark scalar using our limits for B-boson parameter space.
    • Result does not appear to be competitive with BES-III
      • What channels did BES-III (and other experiments) use?
    • No background estimate
    • Liping mentioned that peak search would improve sensitivity
